~ The Toolshed ~

So I've decided to create a new space, similar to The Ice-Memery but instead of being silly memes, these are memes/images/words etc. that I've found that are more like tools and insights for recovery. Hence, I welcome you to:

~ The Toolshed! ~

🔧💡🔩🤔

These are things I've found that are insightful, provide psychoeducation, or that have helped inspire me in my recovery journey. I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! But to start us off, I would love to share a nice lil stack of memes/pics I've found that I thought were really worth the read.

P.S. If you haven't already, you can also check out our Coping Toolbox for ideas and strategies to help you when you need to cope with the hard stuff!

So without further ado, lemme kick us off!

Will just tag a few forumites to start, pls do tag anyone you feel would enjoy or wanna contribute to this thread!

@AuntGlow thanks beautiful. I appreciate you so much, as well as everyone else I am close to on Sane. As I mentioned to @MissGremlin it hurts that I wouldn't get any support from anyone offline. No one ever stands up for me and I am used to that but it still stings like heck.

I hope your day is going well xo

@ENKELI that's a really hard feeling to be sitting with. I'm hearing how unsupported you feel in regards to those around you, but I am glad that you're able to feel supported here. You're such an important part of our community!

Also quick note - we've just replaced the name in your post above with the first initial

@ENKELI My beautiful friend. I’m personally very proud of the strength and courage to tell your father he’s an abuser. His response is disgusting.

You have people here to truly care about you. We know he’s an abuser and I knew I would tell him he is an abuser and that you are completely correct. I’m on your side.

I know it would most likely hurt his reply to you. Please know he is the abuser and he’s the only one who needs to f*** off. I’m sorry you’ve been unsupported by your brother and that you’ve had abusive treatment from others too.

sitting here with you. You are not alone OK. We have a lot of love and respect for you here on the forums.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Cuddlebear thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it (I am in tears of gratitude with all of the kind things you and others have said.) I did send him a message that said "so you're allowed to write me a vicious letter aided by your wife - my stepmonster - and tell me you know longer have a daughter not once but twice, as well as telling me to F off but when I do it it's petty? Have you ever consider that it is you that caused me to act this way?"

I signed off using his name and not calling him dad, said I loved him but didn't like him.

I know my sister will pretend to support me IF she even reaches out to me because the insem*nator (as a friend once called him) will bleat to her about how awful I am but in reality she will pander to him and agree with everything he says. That doesn't hurt so much because she is very much like him and I've known that for many years.

I hope you are having a lovely day and again, thank you sweetheart 🫂🤗
